THE MOUNT EMILY ROAD '.
What could furnish more inspiration to our effort to cany
forward a worthwhile project than the following words
from our friend at Enterprise the publisher of the Record
Chieftain 'which are here reproduced?
An Interesting Project
The La Grande project to build a road to the sum
...mit of Mount Emily appeals to us as worthy and
very interesting. This is a case of gathering up the
diamonds at one's feet, instead of running on and
on to the foot of the rainbow. The landscape of
Grande Ronde valley from the crest of the mountain
.is one of thrilling and satisfying beauty and can
hardly be excelled in a month's travel. Union county

Another J. C. Compton crew Is
laying a two-Inch bituminous maca

flat section of the Old Oregon Trail
near Welser junction. The section, i
which is 10 miles long, was recon
structed last year by Newport and
Shannon. About 35 men are working
Sn the Dead Ox section. The Comp

completing a lu-mne section on tne
Central Oregon highway from Vale
to Harper. The project was unfin
ished on Com p ton's 1930 contract.
The state has a small extra gang

on the Dead Ox section ahead of the

There are 130 men working on oil

The real barrier today to business revival is the psycholo
gical power which expresses itself in a fear complex in the
minds of thousands of business leaders, many more thou
sands of business men, not qualified as leaders, and millions
! of workiner men and women, who. without couraceous iren-
' eralship to lead the way, naturally lack the necessary confi
J dence to buy even many necessities of life,
j In other words, the temporary breakdown of the business
j structure of 1929 has developed hundreds of thousands of
' cripples who are prostrated by fear of the present and a
' lack of confidence in the future.
i To quote from Mr. Casson's article: "The Good Book tells
the story of a cripple whose weakness was more in his mind
1 than in his legs. The Master said to him, 'Rise, take up thy
. bed and walk.' He rose and walked and carried his bed."
! No one expects business men to perform miracles, but we
can put our feet on the ground and try to walk, thereby
setting an excellent example to the millions who will jom
in the march of prosperity.
And quoting again from Mr. Casson's article: "Here is
the thought I should like to send out to the business men of
America: You are depressed. You think you are crippled.
You are afraid of the future. You are full of fears. You
have half the gold of the world and half of the machinery
and most of Uie automobiles and all the skyscrapers. You
have the greatest home market in the world and the largest
corporations that the world has ever seen. You are ruled

the world. You have usually done what you thought you

Thomas Harris
Gives Talk At
Normal School
Thomas Harris, of Cove, one of
the very few survivors of the famous
Lost Battalion, spoke to the Interna
tional Relations club of the Eastern
Oregon Normal school yesterday. In
a very Informal and entertaining
manner he related many of his per
sonal experiences during the war, .
holding his audience almost breath
less ior an hour.
He vividly described the harrassing
experience of the six days and nights
during which the Lost Battalion, en
tirely separated from the rest of the
American army, was subjected not j
only to a constant stream of German I
gun fire but also to a barrage from I
the American artlllerv. which u-rk I
misinformed as to the position of the
battalion, so that many more men
were killed by the guns of their
own army than by the German fire.
One of his narrowest escapes, said
Mr. Harris, occurred when he and ,
his buddy were standing directly in j
iinc ui uerman ure; a sneu sang
its way between their hnuis nnH
plunged into the ground just a few ,
steps away. They were showered with 1
earth but neither was injured by the
flying fragments of the shell. It
would almost seem that Mr. Harris
bears a charmed life, for he has had
more harrowing experiences than a
man could ordinarily survive; yet it
has never been necessary for him
even to receive hospital treatment of
any kind.
This talk brought to a climactic
close the very successful activities of
the year for the International Re
lations club which was organized last
fall with Miss Mildred Bennett as
president, for the purpose of pro
moting a clearer understanding of
world relationships. j
